This thermal surveying/mapping quadcopter drone is fully configured out of the box and is capable of auto flight with waypoints, RTL and even follow me mode. The TX comes configured with six flight modes and 2 channels control the yaw and pitch of the gimbal. With the included Sony A6000 and Flir 336 Pro you can take professional aerial photos for surveying, mapping and geo-tagging images. The thermal camera automatically saves GPS coordinates to the EXIF data of the photo so it saves you time. The RTK GNSS GPS gives you up to centimeter precision so you can create highly accurate 2D/3D maps. With the included ground station, you can easily create a autopilot mission to survey a piece of land. The ground station also features software to easily geo-tag aerial photos for 3d modeling. The hand-held transmitter gives you remote access to both cameras' shutter via a switch. The included 3DR radio and OSD will transmit flight data to the included 7" FPV and overlay it onto the live video feed from the Sony A6000 and Flir 336 Pro. You can change the live video transmission via a switch on the transmitter. There is an auxiliary port on the transmitter that can be programmed to change different settings on the thermal camera (e.g. color palettes, zoom etc.) The included 2.4ghz radio has built in telemetry so you can see the main lipo battery voltage,TX voltage,RX voltage and even RSSI on the radio screen. You can also use the awesome function Follow Me mode in Mission Planner. This is a very powerful and stable X8 quadcopter. Some of the benefits of this X8 quadcopter is the ability to handle higher winds, higher altitudes, more power,more stable, longer flight times and even have 4 motor failsafe. That's right if four motors stop working you can safely land the drone as long as there is at least one motor working on each arm. Both beginners and advanced pilots will love to fly this drone and will have no problem learning all the features.
